You may wonder what's the reason 
For this great big smile; 
Say, I haven't been so happy 
In the longest while! 
Got a big load off my mind, 
Here's the papers, sealed and signed; 
And the judge was nice and kind, 
All through the trial. 
This ends the five-year war, 
I'm sweet Miss Waters once more! 

I can come when I please, I can go when I please, 
I can flit, fly and flutter like the birds in the trees, 
Because I'm no man's mamma now! 
Hey, hey! 

I can say what I like, I can do what I like, 
I'm a gal who is on a matrimonial strike; 
Which means, I'm no man's mamma now! 

I'm screamin', "There, I know how 
A fella feels gettin' out of jail," 
I've got twin beds, 
But I take pleasure in announcin' one's for sale! 

Am I makin' it plain? I will never again 
Drag around another ball and chain! 
I'm through, 
Because, I'm no man's mamma now! 

I can smile, I can wink, I can go take a drink, 
And I don't have to worry what my hubby will think! 
Because, I'm no man's mamma now! 
Get it fixed! 

I can spend if I choose, I can play and sing the blues, 
There's nobody messing with my ones and my twos, 
Because, I'm no man's mamma now! 

You know that there was a time 
I used to think that men were grand, 
But no more for mine, 
I've gone and labeled my apartment 
"No Man's Land!" 

I got rid of my cat, 'cause my cat's name was Pat, 
Won't even have a mailbox in my flat! 
Because, I'm no man's mamma now!
